Error description

• On a heavily loaded system the parallel job monitor process
  DSD.OshMonitor may not receive a response from JobMonApp within
  the fixed 10 second timeout after the lead osh process has
  completed.
  This results in incorrect row counts being reported for the job.
  DSD.OshMonitor timeout needs to be configurable.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• On a heavily loaded system the parallel job monitor process
  DSD.OshMonitor may not receive a response from JobMonApp within
  the fixed 10 second timeout after the lead osh process has
  completed.
  This results in incorrect row counts being reported for the job.
  

Problem conclusion

• The DSD.OshMonitor timeout needs to be configurable via
  OSHMON_READ_RETRY environment variable
  The effective timeout is the product of actual read timeout
  which is 1 second and the retry count. The default and minimum
  retry count is 10, setting OSHMON_READ_RETRY to a higher value
  will increase the effective timeout.
  

Temporary fix
